Part 6/9:
"Post Nihilism": His major philosophical work addressing the nihilistic crisis facing modern society, driven by four critical phenomena:
Childhood abandonment: From literal neglect to digital distractions.
Social abandonment: Feelings of societal disconnectedness amid economic and technological changes.
Cosmic abandonment: The erosion of traditional spiritual paradigms amidst secularism.
Self-abandonment: Hopelessness leading to mental health crises, including mass shootings and rising deaths from despair.
Shapiro proposes that addressing these issues requires a new paradigm of spirituality and morality, one that resonates with contemporary realities and reforms how humans relate to themselves and the universe.
